We are excited to announce the addition of the Menus feature to the Plan to Eat app!

If you’re unfamiliar, Menus are reusable collections of recipes, notes, and ingredients that can be added to your Planner just like recipes. Menus are a great way to simplify your meal planning when you’re short on time or inspiration!

We know many of our customers rely on Menus to make their weekly or monthly meal plans and we are delighted to have this feature now available on all your iOS and Android devices!

You can access Menus in the app from the Menus link in the upper right corner of the Plan tab.
